Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 1083 [The Strongest! The No. 1 player in basketball is back! 】

I bet the Lakers will be slaughtered by the Clippers in the opening game. Jason Guo rested for too long and his physical fitness has declined. A small guard like him will be useless once he loses speed.

Jason Guo still wants to win the championship at his current level? Paul will kill him! The Lakers will give him two years of maximum salary. It is estimated that like Jordan, he will retire after coming back for two years, and then the Lakers will rebuild. Jordan was with the Wizards at the time But with a basic salary averaging 20+ per game, it’s much more cost-effective.”

The strength of the 76ers has been significantly strengthened in the new season. I feel that after introducing Millsap and Walker, it is possible to enter the playoffs. It would be interesting if the Lakers are at the bottom of the league.

Paul will prove in one battle that he is the strongest point guard currently in service...

After the first issue of the NBA's official strength rankings was released, fans online discussed it in full swing. Because the Lakers are only ranked 15th in the league, most experts believe that they can barely make the playoffs at most, and it will be difficult to even think about the first round.

Some experts analyzed: Jason said he would lead the Lakers to compete for the championship in order to attract big-name players in the free market to join them at a reduced salary. Unfortunately, in the end, no big-name veteran believed that the Lakers could win the championship. The strongest free agent they signed turned out to be Wen Carter. Jason's plan has come to nothing, and he will definitely play very hard in the new season.

Barkley, the TNT host who has always been close to Guo Xu, also said: The Lakers' lineup is too bad. If Jason was at his peak, he might be able to lead them to a dozen games. 24-year-old and 34-year-old are two completely different concepts. He If you lead such a weak team just after your comeback, if you win the championship, it will be the biggest miracle in the history of basketball.

O'Neal said: He is really single-core this season, and his teammates' scoring ability is average. If Booker and Carter start at positions 2 and 3, it will be difficult for the Lakers to defend against the opponent's offense. Carter's physical strength will not last long. Booker had no numbers in college.

After the Lakers played two preseason games, the coaching staff changed to letting Booker start the game, with Andre Robertson on the bench. This was to strengthen the defense in the second quarter. Booker had three points in the starting lineup, and the formation would be wider. .

The interior defense can only make do, and they lack a power forward who is good at guarding pick-and-rolls. This can be said to be the Lakers' biggest weakness. Insiders who are good at guarding pick-and-rolls are not cheap, Bosh is an example.

Even a pure blue-collar player like Biyombo, who renewed his contract with the Hornets, will have an average annual salary of 12 million. In the parallel world, Biyombo is cheaper. The Hornets of Earth 1 have made consecutive playoffs. Biyombo's defensive ability has been affirmed, and his statistics are not too bad.

In short, because of Guo Xuliu's strength, everyone felt that the Lakers were in trouble.

However, Guo Xu deliberately caused controversy and wanted to surprise everyone. When Tyronn Lue became the head coach in the summer, many people said that Guo Xu joined the Lakers to seek abuse, so he wanted to abuse him more thoroughly.

What's the most painful way to lose? Is it a severe crushing?

no,

Guo Xu believes that the most painful loss is when the star sees hope and has the illusion that I can win, and then is severely crushed by the opponent. It would be more interesting if the fans gave him a mouthful of poisonous milk before the game.

Guo Xu even wants to know how many scapegoats will be left online after the Lakers' opening game is over.

The first game of the regular season has been decided long ago. The Lakers will face the Clippers in the same city at home. This is a showdown between two star point guards deliberately arranged by Silver, and the two teams are also competing for the Los Angeles market.

The Clippers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last time. This season's lineup seems to be stronger, and the competition between the two sides is full of gimmicks.

In an interview, Guo Xu expressed disdain for the Clippers' strength, but he couldn't help but want to let the Clippers see the hope of winning. He pretended that his personal ability was not enough and he could only organize offense.

Sure enough, the scapegoats fell for the trick one after another, jumping up and down and turning on the taunting mode. Many people transformed into Paul secrets. In the two days of the off-season, they were about to blow Paul to the sky.

Paul himself also had the illusion of I can win, even though the Clippers' 4-3 preseason performance was not very good.

In the summer, the Clippers management made every effort to strengthen the lineup and poached Jordan Hill and Wesley Johnson from the Lakers.

They signed forward Josh Smith with a minimum salary and thought they got a big deal. In addition, they traded for Prince Austin Rivers, who performed poorly with the Pelicans.

With the addition of substitutes Cole Aldridge, Varejao, Brandon Bass, veteran Pierce, Artest who was renamed Metta World Peace and others, the Clippers seem to be very strong.

Looking at the player reputation and lineup, experts believe that the Clippers and Lakers are not on the same level. The core Paul is 30 years old this year and has an age advantage over Guo Xu.

On the 27th, Paul practiced shooting more. He wanted to treat this game as a playoff game.

Although many people say that Paul is Guo Xu's first point guard after he retires, in the past few years, Paul was not even qualified to be Guo Xu's opponent. He had never defeated Guo Xu in the playoffs. Being hung and beaten. He did win in the regular season, but the opponent's regular season was famous for being Guo Bufang.

Paul wanted to defeat Guo Xu and told him: It's impossible for someone like you who doesn't work hard to dominate the basketball world forever! It's been two years and everything is different now!

Guo Xu, who also practiced shooting, had nothing special to say to Paul. He was not targeting Paul. He was going to risk his life to set a record this season, so he was not going to let anyone go.

His plan is to torture everyone, and I believe they will have more feelings.

When he appeared on the court, Guo Xu received warm applause from all the fans, and the ratings of TNT radio exploded. Not many people paid attention to the opening game of the defending champion Warriors vs. Pelicans that started earlier.

After the warm-up, the two sides started playing. Tyronn Lue took the time to emphasize the tactics - Give the ball to Jason!

Lakers starting lineup: Guo Xu, Booker, Carter, Horford, Nurkic.

Clippers starting lineup: Paul, Rivers Jr., Pierce, Griffin, Jordan Hill.

Hill showed positive performance against his old team, the Lakers, and won the ball with all his strength, and the game began.

Paul chose singles in the first round, changed direction and broke through and ran into Guo Xu's arms. Even if Paul can't get past the point guard with his speed, he can still get by with his strength advantage. He is very strong, which is why he has been selected to the All-Defensive team time and time again.

Paul had never had an advantage against Guo Xu's strength before, but this time when the two faced off, his strength was even more at a disadvantage. In the six time cycles of Earth, Guo Xu often goes to the gym.

Guo Xu withstood Paul without taking a step back. Paul was a little disturbed in his dribbling rhythm and hurriedly turned his back to protect him. It was difficult for him to turn around after Guo Xu was close to him, so he moved sideways to find Rivers running away.

Rivers Jr. became a starter because of My dad is Doc. He played badly when he was with the Pelicans and was squeezed out by LaVine. He has been in the league for four seasons, and has always had problems with his offensive choices, never averaging double figures in points per game.

He chose to force a breakthrough, and his one-step jump shot missed due to Booker's interference. Nurkic grabbed the rebound.

Carter received the pass from the backcourt and passed it to Guo Xu in two steps. Guo Xu went on the fast break without waiting for his teammates, and suddenly stopped and shot a jumper two meters outside the three-point line in the middle.

After Guo Xu retired, NBA perimeter players no longer had the habit of defending in the midfield, so Paul retreated to the three-point line.

Guo Xu and Wang Jun both participated in midfield shooting competitions in the time loop. He practiced regular offensive methods from the center circle onward, and was especially accurate in the middle. During training, his shooting rate exceeded 40%. When he was in good condition, he could even shoot 50%. A hit rate of more than %.

The ball drew a super high arc and hit the net, 3-0!

Kenny Smith shouted: Guo Xu hit a super long three-pointer on his first goal, announcing that the number one player in basketball is back!
